More than 100 activists trekked to Columbia over the weekend to stand outside in the 100 degree weather and protest Vice-President Biden and Congressman John Spratt at a fundraiser.  Biden had the nerve to praise Spratt for the engineering of a balanced budget in 1997 while blaming our current deficits on former President Bush.  Well, Spratt is the current House Budget chairman and this current House passed a budget last year with a trillion and a half dollar deficit with roughly the same projected for next year as well.
